Hello Hitch,

I’ve been building e-books by hand, from scratch, for about five years. I write a book, format it in HTML, use an external CSS file to style it, and build all the construction files to put it together as a kindle mobi using kindlegen from the cmd line by submitting an OPF file, and building a separate epub version with separate pages and a modified OPF. I’ve run into lots of problems but managed to find solutions to all of them.

I’ve never been satisified with Amazon Kindle formatting and started a project back in April to see just exactly what I could do with the HTML and CSS, Amazon says in it’s guidelines it supports. It’s been an interesting learning experience because I’ve been pushing the envelope as much as I could.

I now would like to try embedding fonts, and my internet info search led me to this thread at a point back in July 2013 (#1 Mathew Reuther 07-17-2013, 08:18 PM). I read this thread with great interest. It was better than many mystery novels. But it left me feeling that if I stepped into the world of embedded forts, I was walking blindfolded and backwards, off a cliff.

What I would like to find, is a complete example of embedding and using a font showing how and where it’s mentioned in an HTML document, how it’s declared and what selectors are need to manipulate it in CSS, and how it’s shown in the OPF.

Do you have any suggestions where I should look, or can you give me some real example code?

Thanks,
Tony
